In the Netherlands, the gerbera is once again gaining popularity in the run-up to Mother's Day, reinforcing its position as a reliable fixture in the seasonal assortment. According to Coloured by Gerbera, the flower's appeal is well-founded. "Its versatility, strong visual impact, and wide colour spectrum make the gerbera an excellent fit for what today's consumer is looking for," the organisation says.
Gerberas lend themselves to a broad range of bouquet styles, from soft and romantic to bold and colourful. This flexibility gives florists and retailers the opportunity to target diverse customer groups and cater to different aesthetic preferences.
"Children very often go straight for the gerbera," says Suzanne Koudijs, floral designer at Bloomon. "Probably because of the wide variety of colours."

Commercial opportunities for the sector
Coloured by Gerbera encourages growers and retailers to prioritise visibility and availability this season. "Gerberas are natural eye-catchers in retail displays and give bouquets a distinctive, contemporary look. By featuring them prominently in the assortment, businesses can directly respond to growing Mother's Day demand."

Responding to experience and trends
The organisation also points to a growing interest in creative and unexpected applications. "Think of combinations with fruit for a fresh, playful look, or mixing different gerbera formats, such as standard gerberas and Germinis, to add dynamism. Personalisation, for example with a handwritten card, is also becoming increasingly important to the buying experience."
With Mother's Day as a key sales moment, the gerbera demonstrates its value as both a commercially strong and creatively inspiring flower within the spring assortment.
